procrastination station

Well, I managed to sit on the couch watching television for almost 4 hours with my roommates. I had my spanish book and notebook open on my lap, pencil in hand, for the entire time. Do you think I actually wrote anything down? Nope. Nothing. So here I am, ready to go to bed, but I have to finish the homework. 

I tell myself I'll finish it in the morning, but I know I'm just a liar and it won't actually happen. This internal dialogue going on is like a kid convincing his mom he can go play video games because he'll do his homework in the morning, because that's when he's the "smartest". That is exactly the situation that's happening in my head. Except I'm a college student, so video games are replaced with sleep, sometimes in excessive amounts.

Why do I do this to myself? I need to learn self discipline. This whole procrastination thing isn't working out for me. And I just realized I am procrastinating this very moment. I should fix that.
